Blue earlobes

[JacinLarkwell]

Huh. Wonder how she got that. Her grandpa and her dad have normal coloring. The only birds besides her I have with dark faces are Ayams, Sumatras and a naked neck pullet kinda has it

Campines can have blue ear lobes. They lay white eggs.

I have a Ameraucana Dominique cross with gypsy face, and her father looked normal.

Did her mom's line have it?

Her mom was a Dominique, so no.

That is a lovely hen.

How is her egg production?

Not sure. She hasn't started to lay yet. She's a mid April baby and we had a cold plummet that caused everyone to stop a month early this year

Based on mama and grandmamas though, it should be good. My phoenixes lay great when I can find their darn nests and her grandmas on her dad's side is a Bantu Cochin that lays surprisingly well

So Phoenix x Bantam Cochin....

Sounds like you could produce chickens that could be really really broody but also incredibly cute!!

Would love to see pics of the results!!

How does Cochin floofiness interact with slow-molting but harder Phoenix feathers!?

This could be a very interesting project!

(Bantu languages and cultures have very little to do with this chickie situation).

She's only 1/4 cochin. The bantam Cochin and standard Amerucana created my current pullet's dad who bred with a Phoenix to make my Bear.

Also meant to put Banty Cochin, not sure why it changed to Bantu.
